Chapter 1022 Unprepared
The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Wu Hong's words are unintentional, but he doesn't know that they have been recorded in the notebook by the little emperor. However, Zhao Bing does not think it is strange. It can be said that it is human nature. Everyone wants to show their strengths. Even the vendors selling fruits know to put a big and bright one in the bright place and a small and long spots under it. In Zhao Bing's opinion, it is not a big deal to play with some scruples in normal times, but this behavior in the army is fatal, especially in the recruit training camp.
To put it in the small way, it is a fraud, to put it in the big way, it is related to the style and level of an army, especially to give new recruits a wrong understanding and to take it as a matter of deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates as a matter of right. And they will eventually grow into veterans, or even officers, and will be accustomed to passing on this concept to the next generation of soldiers. In the long run, the harm to the army will be very serious, even devastating.
However, Zhao Bing was quite satisfied with the food in the new training camp. Of course, it was not the taste, but the quantity. With the improvement of the economy, military expenditure was guaranteed and the food expenses were adjusted several times. Not only did you have to eat enough, but you also changed to eating better. The daily staple food can be fully guaranteed, and side food is also paid attention to. There are standards for vegetables, meat, oil, salt and seasonings every day.
He knew that eating is good or bad not only can stabilize people's hearts, but also a guarantee of combat effectiveness. Meat is the main source of protein, but the varieties and amounts of supply are also different due to different resident areas. Therefore, Zhao Bing specifically asked the Ministry of War to issue policies to not be too restrictive to regulations. It can be changed according to local conditions. Where there are many pigs and sheep, you can eat more meat, and where there are close to water, you can also use aquatic products instead, but you must ensure that the meal costs are sufficient and use them well, and every penny is eaten into the soldiers' stomachs.
Now the new training camp is in Taihu Lake, and fish and shrimp are cheap, so you can naturally eat more. When Zhao Bing went in, he saw that not only meat was found in the kitchen, but also more than 100 kilograms of fish were added. Even if it was not enough to calculate it in detail, it basically complied with the regulations. At first, he was worried that it was the emergency measures taken because of his arrival, but after Wu Hong's words, it showed that eating fish had a fixed day, but he caught up with it, which made him feel relieved and relieved.
"I heard that Brother Wu's accent should be from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Zhao Bing had been a leader for more than ten years and became a mature politician. He was no longer a "child" who was so impulsive that he could easily become impulsive. He knew that the attack at this time would not be helpful for the solution, but asked Wu Hong with a smile, wanting to learn more about the situation from it.
"I'm from Shaoxing, I don't know where Brother Huang's family is?" Wu Hong nodded and asked back.
"The ancestors were from Kaifeng, and after they crossed the south, they lived in Qiantang!" Zhao Bing thought about it, but it was not a lie.
"No wonder Brother Huang said so well, but he lived for a hundred years and was considered a native of Wu!" Wu Hong said, and it was precisely because of Zhao Bing's authentic official words that he dared not determine his hometown for a while.
"Is it because we are all from Wu Yue, and the officers look down on us, that we sent us these miscellaneous work to do?" Zhao Bing said, and his subordinates kept asking.
"This... isn't it? We all take turns to help the kitchen, but today's situation is special. Isn't this the case in your squadron?" Wu Hong was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and replied.
"It's probably the case, but this emperor came here to do something and made us unlucky!" Zhao Bing sighed and complained to himself.
"Then do you know which ship?" Wu Hong felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and pointed at the Sheji who was mooring at the pier.
"That is Your Majesty's ship, the commander of the General Liu Shen of the Mongol Yuan in the Battle of the Seven Continents. Our Han tribe also participated in the battle. And Your Majesty often patrols this ship. Every summer, he goes to the Boao Palace to escape the summer heat, and the ship is moored on our island and can be seen every day." Ou Bo said lightly, but everyone could see his face with pride.
"It has been two years since you moved to Qiongzhou. You are not having a good life, right?" Zhao Bing asked again.
"When it comes to influence, it is not as lively as in previous years, but life should be better. After ten years in Qiongzhou, he reclaimed wasteland and is now self-sufficient. He also vigorously developed marine trade and built salt farms, and trade became increasingly prosperous. Although Xingchao moved back to Lin'an, all the things left for Qiongzhou are there. After the recovery of Jiangnan, there are more ships to trade in Qiongzhou by port, so how can life be difficult!" Ouhai said.
"I used to be free at sea, but now I feel miserable when I join the army?" Zhao Bing nodded thoughtfully and asked again.
"Of course, it's not as easy as ever, but it's not unbearable. I think my Song Dynasty naval army is invincible, so how can I not endure some hardship? Moreover, my sects have gone out to sea with boats since childhood. I have never eaten any kind of hardship, what's that!" Ouhai said indifferently. And his subordinates kept cleaning up the remaining fish, got up and sent it to the kitchen.
"Oh, we are still a little worse than that. No wonder they are the people of Qiongzhou who can dominate the recruit camp!" Zhao Bing sighed lightly.
"Brother Huang, don't be ambitious. We Wu Yue people are not cowards. Let's watch it on the battlefield in the future!" Wu Hong said unconvincedly, then stood up and sent the selected dishes into the kitchen.
At this time, the chore work had been done, and it was not their turn to cook in the pot and the new recruits who helped the kitchen started to do it. They were in the kitchen and were kicked out, and they were able to rest for a while. These sympathy-compulsive people gathered together to chat. As there were too many people, Zhao Bing was worried that they would be seen through, so he sat in the corner of the periphery without interrupting, just listening to them.
At this time, the recruits left the troop commander and the squad leader was surveillance. The young people who left the house were not wary of each other and spoke less. The most talked about the latest news in the army, especially the troop commander who had contacted the most. And Zhao Bing wanted to know the most. From their conversation, he could infer the organizational situation of the new training camp to every bit of life. Sometimes he would also make a few words. With his experience, he would not leave any deliberate traces, which aroused their vigilance. When the meal started, he had already figured out the situation of the new training camp...
By dusk, the little emperor had not returned yet, Zhao Mengjin and others were a little anxious. At this time, they did not receive a report that spies had been involved in the camp, and the surrounding guards did not see the little emperor. They couldn't help but worry that His Majesty had really slipped out of the new training camp, and at this time people couldn't help but think about the worst and their hearts were lifted up.
Just as Zhao Mengjin was about to mobilize troops to find him and reported to the capital secretly, he found that the little emperor was back, and everyone couldn't help but complain. But no one asked where he went. The old men in the army had actually got the answer from the smell of oil smoke on His Majesty. He couldn't help but sigh that the little emperor was really a thief. He made full use of his advantage of knowing the rules of the army and deceived everyone.
However, even though everyone asked indirectly how to sneak out under the strict protection of the guard camp, the little emperor just smiled but refused to reveal a word. What made them worried was that what the little emperor had done and knew about it and kept silent, which made them feel unsure of who would be unlucky.
It was getting late, and the generals were inconvenient to stay for a long time, so they all took their leave. There was nothing wrong that night, so naturally, except for Tan Fei, who was wearing two black circles, I thought that he had not been asleep all night to prevent the young emperor from leaving again, especially when he had not yet found out what method his majesty used. But these did not affect the young emperor's arrangements, and the boots hanging on the commander of the new training camp also fell to the ground. Today he was going to review the new army.
The emperor inspected the new training camp. Although it felt very stressful for the new training camp, he didn't think it was anything. After all, the superiors came to inspect and assess it. The process was generally to sanitate and give the inspector a good first feeling. Then after talking to the chief officer, he was lined up on the playground to show his training results; then he was to visit the camp and have a discussion with the recruits, and to understand their ideological trends and whether the officers abused the recruits at close range; finally he was to have lunch with everyone.
Everyone is familiar with these basic processes and has countermeasures. However, there will also be "interesting" officials who will check the roster, check the number of people, and even check the accounts to see if there are any corruption and embezzlement of property, and deduct new recruits' pay and meal expenses. They believe that they are doing well, and even if they are checked, they can't find anything.
Moreover, the recruits have only been in the army for less than two months and are still in the training stage of bare-handed troop training, that is, walking around the queue, practicing basic tactical movements, learning military laws, orders and brainwashing loyalty education. So even if there are some mistakes, they are not worried. After all, the recruits are short in the camp, and it is normal for some problems to occur. But they will still take some measures to strive to do the best. After all, this time it is the emperor's inspection. If there is a problem, they will not only be investigated, but also involve the Ministry of War and other related units, and the most unlucky one is them.
The emperor inspected the past process at first, but after inspecting the camp of the third brigade, he suddenly took the roster and randomly selected a squadron, asking them to assemble immediately for point inspection, and asked all the members to participate, and not be absent for any reason. With the order issued, the sharp assembly whistle sounded, and the 12th brigade of the third brigade gathered immediately.
